Covered jar

Attributed to Jacob Scholl American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704

This jar is coated with cream-colored slip and bears a sgraffito design of flowers and leaves. Sgraffito hollow ware is rare, and the incised flowers here are of exceptional artistic merit. The jar is said to have descended in the family of the potter.
